Donald Trump has a reputation for not being supported by the intellectual class, but newfound support from academics may change that.

In a new letter, 150 academics or academic-types declare their support for Trump.

The text of the letter is simple: “Given our choices in the presidential election, we believe that Donald J. Trump is the candidate most likely to restore the promise of America, and we urge you to support him as we do.”

Many of the letter signers are professors, but not all. Some are authors, some have Ph.Ds.

Mook dodged the question, and reiterated the campaign’s position that it wants to address premium costs.
